The greed factor that makes people very easy to become victims, in addition to the lack of information and laziness to read. Most victims of Ponzi schemes usually follow from friend to friend without doing any research first. This scheme will continue to exist, and there will continue to be victims, this has become part of crypto.
Greed is very basic human instinct and people continue to be greedy. Who don't want to be rich?
Very little people don't want to be rich and very limited people who can self limit their own need in financial wealth, so it together with "too good to be true offers" will bring them closer to scam hooks.
So indeed to avoid becoming a victim, we should not be easily influenced by the lure of unreasonable profits from unclear investments, especially with profits beyond reason, it is definitely a scam.
If they can control their emotion, basically they don't need to have very deep knowledge for avoid scam very easily. Like do you need to have knowledge about IT, health, agriculture, food, beverages for avoid scams especially Ponzi scams related to those things.
You don't need such knowledge, if you are careful and are not greed, you can avoid scam very naturally.
